Hongjoong hates losing.
You know this even before you personally met the headstrong captain thanks to his brother. You don’t cross paths by chance, but by the consequence of your amateur pickpocket skills.
Bumjoong allows you to painstakingly slit open his leather coin pouch as he stands idly by a fruit stand, quietly smirking at the way your desperate hands try to collect as much gold and silver pieces in two handfuls. Only when the coins start to flood past your outstretched hands and clatter obnoxiously to the ground do you sprint away from the mildly amused man.
Now that you think back to it, it was the way you haphazardly zipped through the very well known path to the underground city that ratted you out in the end. Unsurprisingly, Bumjoong is there at the hidden entrance when you reach it.
You remember trying to break free from his hold as he raised you like a scolding mother cat would with its child. He was smiling the entire time, not in the way that would send shivers down your spine and let you fear for your life, but in fondness of all things.
You scowl at him when he begins tutting, and he bursts in laughter when you stick your tongue out menacingly. The coins you “stole” from him are scattered under your defeated form now.
“You’re so much like my little brother.”
That’s the first time you met Hongjoong.
You meet Hongjoong a lot more after the first.
-
Hongjoong hates receiving help when he isn’t asking for it.
Again, something you learn from Bumjoong when you found yourself stuck in hand-to-hand combat with some drunk at the local tavern. Your lip is split and you’re pretty sure the liquid dripping from your eyebrow is not sweat by its metallic taste. Your opponent is doubled down, clutching his gut, he’s not faring any better than you with the bruise forming around his left eye and the way he’s heaving to breathe properly.
Your knuckles throb from the reckless punches you’ve thrown, knees buckling from the adrenaline leaving your system, but you stubbornly keep yourself on your toes in case he could strike again. Raising a shaking fist, you aim for the side of the man’s head before another hand holds you back.
“That’s enough,” Bumjoong’s prim and neatly pressed navy uniform contrasts heavily with your worn out attire. “You’ve done enough damage, kid. To the both of you.”
You pry your arm from his grip, wiping the blood trickling by your eye with the back of your hand. “I don’t need your help, Bumjoong.”
He sighs. “Alright,” he relents, and stands to the side.
This time he doesn’t give you a scolding after you land a final blow (although admittedly much weaker than you’d wish), he knows you know what the consequences of your actions are. The walk home is silent, save from the jingling keys strapped securely on his belt.
“You patronize me too much for someone in the navy.”
He snorts, “I’m your big brother first before a government servant, kid.”
“I’m not your brother.” You look at him perplexed. How did this guy manage to pass the mandatory government background check with you hanging around him for most of your teenage life anyway? “And I’m pretty sure that’s not how that works.”
Bumjoong stops in his tracks to look at you. His gaze isn’t gentle, rather it burns with the trails of a promise. “I’ll protect you for as long as I can.” 
You look away, unable to hold the intense eye contact. “I can protect myself.”
“At least try to learn how to use a dagger or two,” he says and continues walking ahead.
Twin daggers are the last thing Bumjoong leaves in your possession before he disappears out of your life.
-
With nothing but a couple of blades and a bundle of clothes to your name, you wander near the docks just as you had before you met Bumjoong. Pickpocketing the captains and crewmen of the merchant ships proved to be a task similar to child’s play now that you’ve developed better skills under him.
You guess you have that to thank him.
Soon enough you had made a name for yourself as a seasoned thief. And with the title along came the very real danger looming over your head, hence why you kept acquaintances and allies at a distance. Adapting a nomadic lifestyle helped, but the more you traveled from town to town, the more you came to realize you would always end up in towns along the coast. Almost as if your subconscious was telling you something was waiting across the reef.
You end up thinking about what Hongjoong would do in your situation.
Hongjoong hates making empty promises.
But who’s to say Hongjoong was actually a real person, for all you know Bumjoong was making him up for you to empathize with him.
-
He tells you this himself the very night you meet him in person. At a tavern of all places.
You slip up when you draw one of your daggers to openly threaten him in front of his entire crew at the most lawless coastside town you’ve ever set foot to. “You’re the famous Hongjoong, huh?”
There’s a twinkle in his eye when his gaze lands on the hilt of your blade. You brush it aside as fascination, but deep inside you have a sneaking feeling he recognizes it. You let the tip lift his chin for him to look at you instead. “Depends who’s asking, sweetheart.”
“Cut the bullshit, pirate.” Retracting your dagger, you contemplate on telling him the full truth about Bumjoong’s disappearance. The words leave your mouth before you have the willpower to filter them out. “The navy has your brother.”
This takes Hongjoong aback. He knew his brother always wanted to be a nameless bounty hunter, but the navy? “I’m taking he took you under his wing or something?”
You scoffed, “More or less. It doesn’t matter. I need to find him.”
“And you think I’d go out of my way to assist you, thief?”
“Geez, he wasn’t lying when he said you’re stubborn.”
“Promised he’d protect you, didn’t he?” He stares into his beverage, eyes glazed over with something you can’t quite put your finger on. “Don’t you just hate being offered empty promises?”
You don’t answer. You don’t have an answer. All you knew was that Bumjoong was taken against his will and that something tells you he couldn’t be reached by traveling on land.
Hongjoong gets up from the booth, pint still half-full discarded on the table in front of you. “Welcome aboard, thief.”
-
More than anything, Hongjoong hates liars.
Hongjoong’s rapier has always stayed sheathed in the sheath-cane hybrid he customized himself. You’ve seen the crew spar with him along the main deck during the fortnights away from shorelines, but never with the actual blade he carried around.
Which is why you don’t immediately recognize the tip of the blade that rested threateningly beneath your chin.
The Aurora sits docked among smaller fishermen’s ships on some island away from authorities, a waning crescent moon taunts your vision as you lay leisurely on the sterncastle deck. The crew unanimously elected you as the watchdog for tonight while they drink their asses away at the nearest tavern, and you are left with no choice but to sharpen your daggers in solitude on the deck.
A short yelp leaves you when the thin blade enters your vision, mostly out of confusion rather than fear. The daggers you’ve been sharpening discarded at your side when you recognize your captain’s heavy boots. How did you not hear him coming with those on?
“Some pickpocket you are with those reflexes.” Hongjoong disengages, his tone almost harsh.
He turns his back on you when you stand, back leaving the stability of the mast. “You’re upset.” It’s evident, it always has been. Hongjoong is terrible at masking his displeasure and it’s no different now that it’s only the two of you on the ship.
He takes a few steps forward before he leans on the railings, rapier and sheath-cane dangling over the calm waves in his grip. A shaky breath and a small chuckle nearly disappears into the sea breeze but you pick up on them and deduce he’s somewhat inebriated. “Captain, if you wish to talk-”
“I know what you did to my brother.”
He turns again, now looking at you, looking conflicted for a split second before his glare turns hostile. Chin raised, he tries to conceal the hurt by being intimidating. It almost works. “How dare you walk up to my ship with his blood on your hands?”
“What?”
The question hangs unanswered between you two, nothing has made any sense since Hongjoong joined you tonight. You shift in place, discreetly trying to pick up your daggers in case he jumps you.
“It took me a while, but now I remember. Those daggers,” a step forward, “are a gift from the ocean, you see.”
You flinch, stepping on the handles of your blades as he inches closer. “It keeps the blood of its previous owner in the hilt, it spills right through the fuller when they pass. Explains the pretty scarlet you got there.”
What was he on about?
“That night, during the raid.” The corner of his mouth tilts up in a sarcastic smirk, a challenging brow rises when he finishes. “That was you.”
If you crouch to pick up your weapon now he could freely strike you, so you opt to stay in place. 
“You killed Bumjoong.”
You laugh. He can’t be serious, right? Does he really think you would actually kill the closest thing to a brother you had? And what was all that talk about daggers as gifts from the ocean? Guard down, you crouch and finally pick up your twin daggers. “Yeah, sure and Aurora is a sea merchant’s boat. Where did you even get that from-”
Slash.
“Shit!” You cradle the wound forming on your forearm. Hongjoong’s blade is under your throat again, this time you see his muscles tensing to land another strike. You freeze. “I didn’t kill your brother!”
Another swish of his wrist and a cut appears on your cheek. One look into his hooded eyes tells you he’s dead serious.
“Get off my ship,” he growls, gripping the hilt of his blade tighter as if his body and mind were playing opposing sides to the order.
You’re shaking when you stand. His rapier follows. “Never show your face around me again.”
You scrabble off the deck and down the gangplank into the nearest establishment.
Had Bumjoong really died by the daggers you carried?

Hi there! I was wondering if you could do a skz seungmin academic rivals to lovers drabble? Love your work, especially your Whispers of Nature supernatural au!!
thank you for the request and your kind comment, I'm glad you liked the series! hope you didn't mind me inserting the spiderverse into this drabble - ever since I watched the new movie I've been itching to write something with it, and this idea struck me with help from @wingkkun (thanks chip <3). please enjoy!
summertime drabble fest: send me an idol from the list (Stray Kids, Ateez, TXT, Seventeen) + a prompt (check out the post for ideas) and I’ll write a drabble for you!
REQUESTS OPEN!!
~
Title: The Bane of My Existence, the Reason I'm Alive 
Pairing: Seungmin x gender neutral!reader
Word count: 2.3k
Genre: fluff, angst, Spiderverse!au, university!au
Warnings: injury, cursing, a mention of porn as part of a joke (no actual sex/suggestiveness)
~
3:55 PM. 
You slide into the seat of the lecture hall, five minutes before your exam is supposed to start. Physics—your best and favorite subject, and also the one you happen to have studied the absolute most for just to be absolutely certainthat you'll beat Seungmin Kim, the bane of your entire existence. 
Which, to be fair, is not entirely true. Because for one thing, the stupid criminals and villains you fight every week as your spider-based alter ego are far bigger nuisances than he is. Doc Ock nearly killed you, physically and metaphorically and sarcastically. You're still recovering from the shock of live tentacle porn crawling down the streets of Manhattan—you're not quite sure you'll ever get over that, which is something you made sure to say when he was wrapped tidily up in your webs and the police were coming to take him away. 
And for the record, Seungmin does seem like a nice guy—for the most part, at least. He's got a sense of humor and he's friendly enough, liked by most of the student body even though he transferred to your university very suddenly just a month or two ago. But his smile—his stupid smile—whenever he beats you in a test in one of the classes you share, his stupid little shrug when you beat him like it doesn't matter at all to him, this one-sided rivalry of yours—
Ugh. You grit your teeth just thinking about it. Enough said. He's the bane of your existence. That's it. 
And…
You look around the room. 
And he's not here. 
Huh. You frown. The TAs have already started passing out the tests, starting from the front and back and making their steady way to the middle where you usually sit, Seungmin just one row in front. But the seat he always takes is suspiciously empty right now, his head of black hair nowhere to be seen anywhere in the room. 
Your frown deepens as a TA passes you an exam sheet face down. Why would he miss an exam? You've only known him for a couple of months but he doesn't seem like the type to skip a test—or, at least if he had to, he'd probably have said something about it in passing when you two eventually got to bickering like you always do—so why?
A bubble of worry starts to build in your stomach, which is so dumb—why should you care? Why the fuck should you? It's just Seungmin, Seungmin Kim who's not even really a friend. He's just a guy. A dude that infuriates you a little too much when it comes to your need for academic validation. 
The clock strikes four. Papers rustle around the room. You flip over your own exam and force all thoughts of a certain Seungmin Kim out of your mind once and for all. 
He's not your problem. 
. . . . .
4:30 PM.
DANGER DANGER DANGER DANGER—
It hits you with a jolt—almost physically. You let out a gasp and the tip of your pencil breaks when you press it too hard into the paper, blinking furiously. The sense—the spider-sense—
DANGER DANGER DANGER
Your breath catches. Someone next to you gives you a sidelong glare and somewhere else someone hisses in frustration, but you can only force yourself to sit. And breath. And focus on what exactly you're going to do next. 
Physics exam. Saving the city from possible disaster. 
Seungmin's not here. It's silly and even selfish to think about now, but it makes the decision so much easier to know that at least compared to him, your half-finished test won't matter.
You hand your test to the nearest TA and sprint out of the hall. 
. . . . .
4:47 PM. 
"You're late to the party!" 
That's the greeting Spider-Min tosses over as you swing into the fray. Despite the huge lizard monster thingrampaging through the streets, you grin—for all your initial frustration when a new spider person suddenly appeared in town, clearly more experienced than you, you think you can now count Min, as he has you call him, as one of your friends. He caught you when you were just starting out this vigilante gig and has since taught you so much. 
It's also just really nice to have someone around who understands living a dual life like this. 
"Well, excuse me for having a physics exam! How'd you get here so fast?" You lash out with your webs, slamming the monster's snapping jaws shut. It tries to roar but can't, so it settles for stomping over half a dozen cars instead. Screams erupt from the streets. 
Shit. You leap from the side of a building, scooping up civilians and depositing them further away. "Better run!" you yell, waiting just long enough to make sure they survive their mad scramble to safety before turning back to the fight. 
"Happened to be in Brooklyn when it started causing chaos, nerd!"
"Oh, suck it!" You punch one of the lizard's claws away, rolling your eyes under your mask. "As if you're not the exact fucking same, dickhead—"
Min laughs. It's a bright sound, warm and heavy and like one of the last rays of sunlight permeating your suit, warming you up from inside and out. 
And even though you've most certainly failed a test for the first time in your life, even though you're still smarting over the fact that you worried about Seungmin Kim, even though you're fighting a lurid green lizard monster that's just managed to tear your webbing away from its mouth, you don't find it very difficult to laugh, too. 
. . . . .
4:59 PM. 
The lizard monster won't go down. Just—won't. It's annoyingly persistent and it fucking regenerates limbs—both you and Min have screamed some obscenity about this at least five times each because while the regeneration is slow, it's incredibly disturbing to watch in real time as well as annoying to deal with when you're trying to subdue it. 
And, of course, there are a select few idiot civilians who insist on making your lives harder. It's usually a few foolhardy police who don't like vigilantes, but this time, there's a vlogger. 
For real. A vlogger. Trying to film the fight from way too close. 
And what does said vlogger get for his efforts? A chunk of rubble falling on his head. Or it would have fallen on his head if you hadn't abandoned the fight to sweep him out of the way, leaving Min to fight the creature on his own for a few dangerous seconds. "RUN!" you yell, shoving the stunned vlogger towards the police before spinning around to face the lizard creature that Min's still fighting alone. 
Only—
It happens so fast you almost miss it. Something like—a computer glitch, almost. A spasm. That's as close as you can get to describing it, a sort of television static ripping through the air and distorting Min's image into a blur of—pixels, almost, though that doesn't make sense because pixels only exist in screens and not in real damn life. 
It's fast. Half a second, maybe. But it's enough for the lizard's tail to sweep through the air, smacking the already falling Spider-Min into a building and hurtling him to the ground. 
A blurry screech fills your ears. Only later will you realize you were the one who made the sound. 
You sprint and leap onto the side of a building, shooting out desperate strands of web. By some miracle streak of luck, one of them catches Min in the back as he falls. You nearly fall yourself with the sudden weight at the end of the strand but you force yourself to hold on, to grab your friend before he falls. 
"Min?" You land behind a pile of rubble, patting his cheeks. "Min!" 
He doesn't respond. 
Panic almost blinds you. Your head feels fuzzy and you can't see clearly, can't really breathe either, but you press two numb fingers to his neck and nearly swoon with relief when you feel a faint pulse beneath his suit.
Somewhere above you, the lizard hisses. You look up to see the hideous green face swinging left to right. Looking for Min. Looking for you. 
You swallow hard. Min's in no condition to fight. He's out cold. His suit is shredded, showing bloody scrapes on his skin, and half his mask has been torn off. 
Taking a shaky breath, you gently lower Min to the ground and step out from behind the rubble. "Over here, ugly!" you scream to disguise the fear freezing the blood in your veins. 
Time to go on alone, just like you did before. 
. . . . .
5:13 PM.
After Min falls, you don't know what happens. 
Seriously. You don't. You know there was fear, you know there was rage, you know there was red crossing your vision that wasn't from your mask—but you don't know what happened. You just know that ten short but still horrifically long minutes later, you knocked the lizard out and it morphed into a human who you wrapped tightly in your webs and strung from a building for the cops to grab before ducking behind the rubble to pick up Min, who was still out cold. 
He's still out cold as you swing him across the city and in through the window of your dorm. 
Your body hangs on just long enough for you to deposit him on your bed and check his pulse to ensure that he is in fact still breathing. Then your legs give out and you fall to the floor. 
For several long minutes, you can only sit there and gasp. Breathe. Try to make sense of everything that happened—lizard man, vlogger, glitch-pixel-what-the-fuck-Min, unconscious Min. 
Most of it can be explained. Lizard man: experiment gone wrong. Probably. Vlogger: people are idiots. Unconscious Min: he got smacked into a wall. 
But the glitch-pixel bit. 
What the fuck was that.
You rip off your mask and take a gasping breath. Somewhere nearby you spot your water bottle and drain most of it in two gulps. You dump the rest on your face. 
The cool water splashing onto your skin brings your mind back to focus, just a little bit. Enough for you to finally take a good look at Min on your bed, still unconscious. 
Already some of the smaller scrapes have faded from his skin, visible through the torn fabric of his suit. You breathe a little sigh of relief, pushing yourself back up to take a closer look—not too close, because it feels kind of like an invasion of privacy, but enough to reassure yourself. Just a little bit. 
Then your gaze falls on his face, where half of his mask has been torn off. 
Your first instinct is to look away. You've never shown Min your face, nor has he shown you his. It's an unspoken agreement between the two of you to keep it quiet—not because you don't trust each other, but because you just didn't. No one knows you. No one knows Spider-Min. It's meant to be this way. 
But almost against your will, you have to look again. Because there's something very familiar about the bottom of his face. The set of his jaw, the pale skin of his cheeks, the tilt of his nose half covered by a little flap of fabric still hanging on. And though you look away almost immediately, the familiarity stays. Tugs at your mind in all the wrong ways. 
You squeeze your eyes shut. Half of you screams to look again. The other half screams to turn yourself away. And between the two halves, a little piece of your mind is whirring, trying to figure out who Min looks like to you. 
And then. 
And then.
It hits you. 
Seungmin Kim. 
Your eyes fly open, immediately lighting on Min. The jaw, the face shape—his laugh, his voice—his name, Min—
"Happened to be in Brooklyn while it started causing chaos, nerd!"
No wonder he wasn't taking the physics exam. 
A strangled noise leaves your throat. Spider-Min. Seungmin Kim. Fellow spider person. Academic rival. You don't want to believe it—can't believe it—but all the evidence is staring you in the face, quite literally in your face—
If you just lift off his mask you'll know for sure. 
Before you even realize it, one hand is reaching out for the torn edge of the mask, fingers itching to pull back the fabric and confirm every one of your horrible suspicions. They can't be the same—not the bane of your existence and half the reason you're still alive—but—
And then it happens again. The glitch. Pixels scrambling with radio static, television buzzing but in real life. Only for a second but just enough for you to watch Min blur in and out of reality the way he did during the fight. Enough for you to confirm that you weren't losing your mind then. 
Though you just might be now. 
To your horror, Min—Seungmin—what the fuck, did you bring Seungmin Kim back into your own bed, what the fuck—his eyes flutter. His lips part, just slightly. His breath catches. 
You clap a hand over your own mouth, stifling something that feels half like a sob, half like a scream. And as Min's body shifts, his eyes starting to blink open, you do the only thing you can think to do. 
Trembling fingers pull your mask over your face, and you jump out of the window.

okay so i have done the unthinkable and accidentally deleted my tumblr account hAHAHAHA 😭😭😭
well, i wanted to do one last thing anyway. the lack of interaction over the past few months really made me lose all motivation for either writing or creating gifs and i was pushing it off for as long as i could. however now that i sat through a whole 10 minutes of existential crisis over losing my blog and all my works, i'm thinking it's not that bad after all ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
anyway this blog will still exist for the sake of keeping my contacts but i won't be writing nor creating stuff in general anymore. ig losing all my og posts made this easier.
tagging a bunch of moots coz well :'D

New atiny ask game! Assign a mutual to each teezer (not who you’d “ship” them with, but who they’d be)
oooh, thanks anon!
hongjoong - @seonghw-a - sofie, it’s just vibes, but I also think jazzy mentioned this before but u have been here a while and seem to be a sweeping presence on atinyblr which is like hongjoong, who was the first one to join kq.
seonghwa - @abiaswreck - jess, you’re one of the older ones on atinyblr but seem to have everything together and are really (based on vibes) elegant and smartly spoken, like seonghwa.
yunho - @mangomingki - blue, you wouldn’t hurt a fly but you also are really scary when angry! you’re also super talented just like yunho.
yeosang - @hwanswerland - fio, we dont interact too much so I dont know if this is entirely accurate but you seem really straight to the point but also a softie, just like yeosang.
san - @woosansang - jazzy, you work really hard and you’re good at what you do and I feel like san is the same! you two are also nice but can have your mischievous more “demon” moments.
mingi - @sanhwaiting - megan, i see you on the dash and you’re a really sweet and silly presence! also something about your tag meganbyte is so cute and I feel like it gives mingi vibes.
wooyoung - @wingkkun - kai, I always see you poking fun and having fun with people I know in their inboxes and that gives wooyoung vibes! you also give trickster vibes haha.
jongho - @blossom-hwa - lina, you’re a strong person that protects and needs to be protected (because you are so wonderful)! you’re prodigious in writing and rather mature but you can still have your silly moments. you’re also super funny.

recs game ✧˖°
I’ve been tagged by @crispy-chan, thank you very much (kinda been wanting to do this lmao)! 💕
recommend 5 or more of your own works that you would rec to someone asking what they should read first & explain a little bit about the work. these can be the most popular, the ones you think are underrated, or your own favorites! then tag five other writers!
Danse Macabre | LMH — 26.6k
I’ve said this a hundred times already, but this story and its world are something that I wanted to write for a long time. it’s inspired by arabian mythology and culture, which I loved writing. the story is about mc and minho, who are betrothed royals, going on a journey to find a magical artifact. I personally find it to be one of my better older works. it was my first time writing such an eventful plot.
These Minefields | LMH — 815 words
this one is the crown jewel of my masterlist. I’m actually very incredibly proud of the way it turned out. my writing here was at its peak. this blurb describes villain minho bringing back his lover. it’s quite dark and sad, but I think I did a good job of portraying the fondness those two have for one another. point is, this is a favorite of mine. 
Row, Row, Row Your Boat | HHJ — 5.5k
this is an older work but at the time of posting, I was obsessed with it. assassin hyunjin was a concept to die for. the general concept too is still something I enjoy going back to. it’s mainly angst as are most of my works, but it has its meritorious moments of wholesomeness.  
Speaking in Tongues | YJI — trilogy
from the world of danse macabre, a spin-off that follows jeongin’s life in the palace ten years after the first story. this series is my (current) pride and joy, despite not having finished it. the characters are some of my favorite; general jeongin and my beloved oc bara’a! I’m really proud of the progression of the plot and the development of mc and jeongin’s relationship, I think it’s my best paced so far. the atmosphere of the series is very different from that of danse macabre, it’s certainly much darker. the themes portrayed throughout are rather grim and heavy, as is with my more recent works. honestly, I view this series as a turning point for my blog and writing in general. I’m truly proud of it, so do check it out if you haven’t!
The Sky is Green | SCB — 1.9k
probably my most self-indulgent work so far. also the only semi proper mafia au on this blog, possibly forever. it’s a collection of snippets from changbin and mc’s lives in a criminal group. it very briefly chronicles their rise up the ranks and the development of their strange dynamic. this story has my favorite mc that I’ve written. she’s unhinged, in simple terms. violent, senseless, cruel, and seemingly detached from the world, but honestly she was just so much fun to write (don’t know what that says about me though haha). 
I’m tagging @blossom-hwa @heeracha @aliceu @blueprint-han @wingkkun ♡

yeonjun + rocker!au courtesy of @/wingkkun <3
chai (@wingkkun) you are my favorite person ever <3 thanks for dealing with me and my stupid ideas <3 and thank you for giving me an excuse to write this <3 <3 love you very much <3 <3 <3
5 year anniversary drabble game: send me a Stray Kids/TXT/Golden Child/Ateez/The Boyz member + a prompt (check out the post for ideas) and I’ll write a drabble for you!
(this is an old idea I had for san but have now repurposed for yeonjun. sue me. I'm very good at recycling.)
REQUESTS OPEN!!
~
Title: Rain to Be
Pairing: Yeonjun x gender neutral!reader
Word count: 1.5k
Warnings: mentions of alcohol
~
Set the scene. A bar two streets from the university, lights dimmed between sets. Everyone’s talking, drinking, laughing, waiting for the next band to come on stage and start their set. 
It starts like this: Yeonjun multitasking behind the bar, cleaning several glasses, wiping down the table, flashing flirty smiles and mixing up drinks for the many tipsy students wasting their money this fine Friday night. He takes a shot in the back courtesy of Soobin as Taehyun watches with one disapproving eyebrow raised, but Yeonjun can hold his alcohol. One shot barely makes him buzzed. 
Or so he believes until the next band comes on stage. 
Because - it can’t be anything but alcohol turning up the heat in his face when he sees you on stage, right? A stranger, a singer, a university student in a rock band with the most beautiful voice and most alluring smile would never fluster him like this. He’s the one who does the flustering most of the time, sending winks and flying kisses to the giggling tipsy patrons of the bar. Even in the light of day, Yeonjun is the one who gives out his number, asks for someone’s instagram, laughs and charms and sweet-talks his way into what he needs and what he wants. He’s been flustered, sure, but never this fast and never by someone who hasn’t even noticed him, who isn’t even trying - 
Then you turn, and like in the movies, time seems to slow down as you lock eyes with him. 
Your smile is wild, the microphone in your hand held out to the side as you shift with the music. For a moment your gaze drifts to the side as you nod to the drummer and Yeonjun feels his stomach drop with disappointment (disappointment? Why disappointment? He doesn’t even know your name) right before his heart threatens to beat out of his chest when you turn back and lock eyes with him once more. 
He blushes. Really blushes, as in he’s certain that were it not for the dim lighting, anyone could see the red he knows must be creeping up his cheeks and ears. Hell, maybe people can see it right now. His face has never felt this hot because of another person before. 
Which is not helped by the smirk on your face as you finish the song staring right into his eyes, only looking away to take a bow when the entire bar begins to cheer.
He tears his eyes away from you, then, turning back to the bar where five glasses are waiting to be cleaned, the counter is waiting to be wiped, and several new people are waiting to be served. Taehyun doesn’t seem to have noticed anything, thank god, and when Beomgyu slides into a stool during the next song to chatter away in Taehyun’s ear, Yeonjun breathes a sigh of relief. Maybe he won’t go insane tonight, after all, if none of his best friends have seen him like this yet. 
Two (really good) songs later, out of the corner of his eye, Yeonjun sees someone sits down at the counter. One glance at Taehyun tells him that his coworker is still engrossed in conversation with Beomgyu, so Yeonjun lifts his lips in his signature smile to serve them -
He freezes. 
It’s you. 
Up close, you’re even more breathtaking than before. Your makeup has smudged, sweat beading on your forehead, but the smile on your face is as wild and charming as he thought when you first locked eyes on stage. 
Every single word he could have said immediately flies out of the window. 
But, as it turns out, it doesn’t matter. It isn’t just your smile that’s charming - you trick words out of him, one by one, until you’ve both been laughing and chatting at the bar for half an hour, then an hour, and then an hour and a half before someone’s yelling for you across the room and Taehyun’s calling him from the back, something about a drunk Soobin and a sleeping Beomgyu. You exchange glances - apologetic, brief, but accompanied with a good talking to you on his part (seriously? That’s all he could say to you?) and an I’ll see you again on yours. 
Yeonjun carries the high of that conversation with him throughout the rest of the night, barely caring when he has to drag Soobin’s drunk ass to Kai’s car, barely noticing when someone throws up right by the bar. He’s heading back to the dorms with Taehyun at around three in the morning when he has a realization that stops him right in his tracks. 
He never got your name. And more importantly, and more stupidly -
He never got your number. 
No one he talks to knows was at the bar that night. None of them know your band. Most of them think you and your bandmates probably don’t even go here - they go to the other university a few miles away. And despite your words, you never show up to Yeonjun’s little university bar again.
So he never sees you again. 
Until Beomgyu decides to get a tattoo, that is. 
. . . . .
Set the scene. A rainy day, almost torrential. Only a few cars are out as clouds pour the wrath of the gods onto the streets, everyone else hiding out indoors until the downpour stops, or at least eases. 
It starts like this: Beomgyu still doesn’t have a car so he’s hijacked Yeonjun’s (Yeonjun is driving, of course, because he absolutely does not trust Beomgyu with his only reliable mode of transportation), and he’s rambling about the tattoo he wants - a cluster of stars surrounding a little planet right on his ankle, it’s the cutest thing ever you’ll see Yeonjun it’ll be amazing. 
Yeonjun mostly wants to take a nap. 
But Beomgyu’s been so excited about this tattoo for the past two weeks, had looked so upset when the rain started pouring four hours before his appointment, that Yeonjun couldn’t do anything but offer up his car to get Beomgyu there and back. It’s not as if he has anything to do today, anyway - it’s his day off, and he was just going to spend it loafing around and sleeping. 
They arrive at the tattoo parlor and sprint inside under Yeonjun’s umbrella. They’re only a little bit soaked as Beomgyu pushes open the door, lighting up the parlor with his excitement as he checks in with the receptionist about his appointment. Soon, he’s in the back with the guy named Hongjoong who’s going to do his tattoo, and Yeonjun’s left to wait the hour or so out in the front.
He scrolls through his phone for half an hour until the repetitive drumming of rain on the windows begins threatening to put him to sleep. He’s about to give in, closing his phone and settling himself more comfortably in his chair, when someone emerges from the back and approaches the counter. 
The movement doesn’t really catch his eye, at first. He almost just ignores it. But something about the person’s voice pokes at something in the back of his mind, a reminder, a memory...
Yeonjun opens his eyes and sees you. 
It’s only for a second - almost as soon as he looks up, you give the receptionist a nod and a smile and disappear into the back again. But that minute smile was enough for Yeonjun to confirm that it’s you, it’s really you - the singer in that dark bar back in university, the one who locked eyes with him and made him blush and talked to him until the early hours of the morning.
The singer whose name he never learned, and whose number he never got. 
Yeonjun sits, frozen, until Beomgyu returns to the front, practically beaming with all his excitement. Yeonjun does his best to shake himself out of the daze, to act normal as Beomgyu pays for the tattoo and gets all the information he needs before heading back out to the car. The downpour has eased a little but new tattoos aren’t supposed to get wet, so Yeonjun volunteers to drive the car up front so Beomgyu doesn’t have to go out into the rain. 
Once in the car, damp and wide-eyed, Yeonjun takes a breath. Or tries to, anyway. It’s fine. It will all be fine. It was a chance occurrence, to see you again, and he shouldn't feel this shaken about it anyway. University has come and gone. He’s a semi-functioning adult now. He shouldn’t still be hung up over a thing that never happened - he’s not hung up over it. Absolutely not. 
Yeah. He takes another deep breath. Yeah, he’s not hung up over it at all. 
“What took you so long?” Beomgyu whines when he pulls up to the front. “I was waiting for you forever.”
“Nothing, Beomgyu,” is all Yeonjun says, avoiding Beomgyu’s eyes as he slides into the car. “Nothing at all.”

Can you please recommend me some of your favourite skz fics? I am running out of them, and I've already read all of yours like twice😅
-mine twice? omg, i’m very very flattered. It makes me so happy to know that my works are enjoyable enough for you to read them all! (can’t believe it gahhhh)
OOOOFFF, there’s SO many! I presume you asked for fics like mine, so everything here is non-smut fiction. 
FIRST COMES, my sweetheart furat @chaninfused. m.list , there’s literally so much to recommend, I love her entire masterlist. But my absolute favorites would be, [paint the moon], [clover prince] (follow up blurbs included), [the songless bird] (it has follow up blurbs too), [and the mountains will kneel], [row, row, row your boat]+ follow up blurbs. i basically can’t choose in between her blurbs, if you wanna raid, GO AHEAD. she writes precious. 
[an angel’s guise](favv), [golden arches] by @luvhjs. m.list
[dawn], [what if we], [give it a chance], [countless skies upon me], [dandelion], [back to me] by @missinghan. and BUBS, ALL THE BLURBS. m.list

[the royal au] (all of em!), [plus one], [not so bad], [priceless], [sincerely] (omg this) by @luvknow, m.list
[who you are, who i am] (still reading it tho), [celestial strings], [small stupid love], [cliches don’t matter], i won’t go about the blurbs, there TOO many. (her m.list scares me, one day i’ll have the courage to finish everything, hopefully!) m.list- 1, 2, 3  (*huffs) by @jeonginks
[on the count of three], [and july] by @wingkkun (haven’t read anything else, sadly pt.2, but pretty sure i’ll be blown) m.list

I’m pretty sure i’ve missed out some masterpieces, but this enough, took me a loooong time. There’s a few fics i forgot the name of and cAnNoT find (i cri 😭) so, i guess this does not fulfill everything i want to recommend. 
anyways, anon, thanks for asking, my fingers will fall off now. 🤪

Content Creator- 2020 in Review
@hongism ​ thank you so much for the mention and the tag, sweets! :D
first creation and most recent creation of 2020: 
Most Recent Creation: Only Fools Rush In (A part of @bystay​’s  Secret Santa event! It’s a loose retelling of Sleeping Beauty featuring Chris as a villain xD )
First Creation: Unposted, but it was a piece of freeverse poetry hehee~ I might think of posting my non-fanfic stuff in a sideblog someday, but let’s see :’)  
one of your favorite creations from 2020: 
Hmmmm.. This is difficult um-  Passion’s Abyss (MINORS DON’T ENGAGE) and Turning Page are right up my former poetry-prose style of writing, so I really like those two.
a creation you’re really proud of:  
I’m proud of In Umbra Universe, tbh. It’s pretty underdeveloped for now but I’ve been consistently so proud of everything I’ve put out under that umbrella Universe. I can’t wait to show y’all everything I have planned for it!
a creation that took you forever: 
THE TWISTED FAIRYTALES OH GOD.> Lost Boy ( A Swan Lake retelling with Felix) and Only Fools Rush In. These 2 fics have so much subtle worldbuilding within their word limits. Between that and the character development ,it made for a difficult time plotting and writing. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed the process!
a creation from 2020 that received the most notes:
All at Once, Nights like this and Sleep well, sweetheart. Um- this is a lil dissapointing ffauhaewiuhui none of these are anywhere close to my best works T^T xD
a creation you think deserved more notes: 
Um look- Never gone my love, The Prince of Pearls and Only Fools rush in. (They’re all high fantasy pieces I’m seeing a pattern here shit- )
a new fandom you joined and a creation you made for it: 
Stray Kids! I joined the fandom in September and remade my BTS stan tumblr account soon after! My entire Masterlist is just SKZ asdhas but.. The Twilight Renegade. My favourite boi Minho as a spellcaster oof.
a creation you made that breaks your heart: 
Dear god, I’ve not written a proper painful angst fic yet... buckle up y’all. But this Jisung drabble and this Jeongin drabble I did for my Soulmate AU game is some peak angst. xD 
a ‘simple’ creation that you really love: 
My entire soft hours masterlist and my snip snip game, to be really honest. I don’t spend very long on them, but they always make me feel really warm and happy working on em and posting em. Especially when it makes the requester/asker happy ^_^
a creation that was inspired by another one: 
NEVER GONE, MY LOVE. inspired by @silverlightqueen‘s My love is come to me. Also the first ever fic I posted here hhhhhh I’m so proud of this piece oh god.
a favorite creation created by someone else: 
OOOOH!!!!! I’m gonna get into this one soon, buckle up :D But for now... I must say... ooh @luminois‘s SKZ love languages and Hogwarts series, @hhjs‘s Afflatus, @wingkkun‘s On the count of three, @decembermoonskz‘s Catch that Royal and Crows Blood!
some of your favorite content creators from the year: 
and for good measure, another couple more creations of yours that you love: 
ooh. okay- some of these amazing content creators have nsfw blogs, so please respect their 18+ tags if you do choose to explore. :)
 @decembermoonskz @rebecca-noona @blueprint-han @chogiwow(ivy your TALENT. OOF.) @mochinnie @mikoto-ica-fics @hanflix @bangtantaegi / @seungisms @choideluxe @illicit-roses @cyecandy @delicatewerewolfsoul @cotccotc @lveletters @luminois @meiiyue @n8dlesoupguk @seraplantery @rosieecheeks @nightshade-minho  ( and @aliceu )
Lemme just tag my masTERLIST I CAN’T CHOOSE A FAVOURITE- No, I absolutely can. 
Never gone, my love. The Gumiho-God King. THAT MIXTAPE LOVE. Of walls and Wonderlands. 
tagging: Everybody I tagged in the other cc question and pretty much anybody that wants to do itt! ~~

fav fics of all time?
ahhh f so anon I'm not sure if you meant my fics or other people's fics so I'll just take this as an opportunity to expand my fic rec list!! if this isn't what you meant please let me know haha but also please give these fics some love <3
without further ado...
original fic rec list
~ ~ ~
@wingkkun - on the count of three (skz chan)
every so often I think of this fic and I can't say that I'm overwhelmed with emotion because I'm not - it is true that the feelings from this story wash over me like water, but rather than a crashing wave against a cliff, it's more like submerging yourself under the surface, letting the water roll over you as it pushes and pulls in its soothing rhythm, one, two, three, one, two, three. it isn't overwhelming. it isn't dramatic. it's soft - it tickles a little, tiny waves rolling over the top of your head like fingers brushing feather soft against your skin. you close your eyes and you feel at peace, almost like you're flying even though you're floating beneath the waves, but isn't that sort of similar, anyway? weightlessness in the sky, weightlessness in the sea - it doesn't matter. you feel free.
special mention: hand in frustratingly oblivious hand (skz felix)
@thepixelelf - pansy (tbz changmin)
pansy was the first reader insert fanfic I really read for any tbz member, and I can say without a doubt it contributed to my descent into the tbz hellhole. reading pansy feels like its title - a garden of blooming flowers surrounded by greenery, a huge expanse of sky stretching endlessly in either direction. sometimes there are clouds. sometimes it rains. sometimes the sun shines but coldly, with a chill in its rays that makes you shiver despite its warmth, but there are moments, sweet, pure moments that make all of the clouds and chill worth it. these are the moments when the pansies blossom and you feel a smile on your face grow like the opening petals because casey's writing just makes you feel that way - a flower bursting into bloom.
special mention: bluff and nonsense (hyunjin)
@wavesmp3 - eurydice (tbz juyeon)
I don't know what it is about shawna's writing, but it just makes you long for something you never knew you lost. before I read eurydice, I'd never known that a story could be written this way - the way shawna weaves emotions into her words, painting longing and desire and in the end, love at an endless cost, with simple black text on a page... I really don't know how she does it. to me, eurydice feels like the color green. pale green, almost grey, but just enough verdancy in the steampunk world that it feels mystical, almost, like a wisp of smoke that I can see but can't quite grasp. it's intangible, but in the moment, just perfect - a carefully cut jewel of a story that does fade, slightly, but still lingers in your mind, just there, barely there, reminding you of a story that will never quite be lost to time.
special mention: before sunrise (tbz kevin)
albrechts - APOLLO (ateez san)
I don't often read on ao3 and even less do I read member x member pairings, but forever I will be glad I clicked on this fic when I happened to see a recommendation for it on Tumblr. it's a woosan pairing with san as a ballerina dancer and wooyoung as a dance instructor, and it's just... the writing. it's brilliant. san's thoughts push and pull like the waves of the sea on the beach where he was born, constant metaphors of water and the sea that meld so perfectly with the endlessness of his thoughts. I've only ever felt this when I read to the lighthouse by virginia woolf, the sense that the words feel like the waves. user albrechts just... I don't know how they do it. it's an unfinished fic and quite long, but I love long fics and each chapter update just makes me even more excited for the next. if you don't mind member x member pairings and some slightly suggestive content, I highly recommend it. it's better than a lot of published fiction I've read.
@itsapapisongo - noli timere (nct kun - platonic)
very sweet, very lovely, a burgeoning friendship that blossoms over time. I think I said this when I rbed it, but it felt like polishing a photo frame that's gathered dust over the years. there's an almost nostalgic feeling to the story, something very lovely and tangible, if only barely, just enough to make you smile - it feels like walking through time.
@chaninfused - danse macabre (skz minho)
fantasy and adventure and a huge FUCK YES. reading danse macabre felt like watching a drama or a movie of some sort - there was suspense at every turn that just kept me absolutely hooked throughout the story. I was holding my breath throughout the fic, and oh god, minho's devotion to mc is just so sweet :) you'll be smiling by the end, I promise!
@jonghoh - santiago (ateez san)
comedic relief and a breath of fresh air. I tend to write heavier fics - I think even my fluff ones usually have a deeper undertone - but reading santiago was like !! just !! wow !!!! I was laughing at different parts but also wholly fully rooting for ateez in others like !!!!!!!! fuck the other restaurant owner she doesn't deserve rights but yeah anyway absolute fucking genius of anne to come up with this. incredibly unique and incredibly fun to read.
